PlayStation2 Slimline

Advantages: Smaller, Lighter, Quieter
Disadvantages: Flimsy Disk Flap

...I am sure you can tell from the name of this product, Sony PlayStation2 Slimline, that this product is alot smaller in size and shape to its bidder brother, The Sony Playstation2. This new design was released in September 2004 and overall, it is much prefered to its previous because of its weight, size, sound and mobility. In my opinion, the slimline model is much more attractive than the origonal one because it is so much smaller. The thickness of this product has been reduced to under 3cm which is almost one third the thickness of the older version. As a result, the PlayStation2 Slimline looks much more compact and in my view, the smaller the better. Furthermore, not only has the size of the product been reduced, but also te weight too, which again, adds to the appeal of the product. Overall the slimline version has lost half...

Review of Sony PlayStation 2 - Slimline Model (PS2)

Playstation 2; expensive but FUN!!!

Advantages: fun, lots of different games, lots of extras
Disadvantages: expensive

...My brother and my sister both own a Playstation 2 and they have been out for a long time now. I think they are really good graphic and quality, but they do push of the other brands. I would have kept the PS1 if there were games being sold, but that means all it really is is a huge profit to the consumes because people have to buy a PS2 to get the games. I wouldn?t buy one myself because it is a waste of money as I just use my bros one or my sisters one. They have really good quality, but make sure, to be on the safe side, you buy a brand new one, or at least know that it fully works. The one my brother has (he wants to sell!) we believe is an older prototype of the console because it won?t play half the games he owns and even the one that do work, you might spend and hour trying to load up, so make sure you keep the receipt and even so...

PlayStation 2- its brand makes it a winner

Advantages: ITs combines the best gaming console out with a quality DVD player
Disadvantages: The price is its main disadvantage but it will come down soon

...I’m not a playstation person to be fair so this is not biased but the playstation 2 will be a hit, I don’t believe that the prices will have to come down much bellow £200 for this to be achieved. Maybe many people will not have the resources required to purchase this console but in fact the high price appeals to an ever-increasing market as our disposable income increases. The playstation one created a large user base but more to the point a brand name. Why do we buy Nike trainer that cost so much more that hi-tech? Because of the brand name. So therefore it is possible to conclude that the playstation 2 will benefit from societys attitudes towards brand names. Playsation twos increased performance over the dreamcast is largely irrelevant but welcome I believe that Sony could sell the dreamcast with a playstation logo...

The Sony Playstation

Advantages: Cheap games.
Disadvantages: It will soon be out of date.

...When I was looking for a console, as they were the craze at the time, I made the big mistake of choosing the N64. I came to realise in time that the playstation was a lot better. The Playstation just has loads of games and the games are a lot cheaper than N64 games (although Nintendo havn't realised that no one wants there consoles anymore and are still charging £50 for some games). Yes, O.k, the Playstation has to load but it's worth the 2 minute wait for better games. Another thing I've noticed with owning an N64 is that light guns are not compatible with the N64 where as with the Playstation you can use a light gun on games such as Die Hard Trilogy or even Point Blank. The Playstation is an easy to use console with extra features like being able to play CD's on it. You can also buy any Playstation magazines and get free demos...

Playstation Eye

Advantages: Good Mic, Good Camera
Disadvantages: Lack of compatible games and features.

...This is a good little addition to the playstation 3 acessories collection. This camera/microphone is probably the best one out for the playstation at the moment. The camera boasts great features such as voice recognition microphone which in my personal opinion is spot on! it filters out uneccesary noises (dog, hoover,fridgefreezer) and is great because there is no echo in game. The main disadvantage of the voice recognition is the fact that you can only use it when you are in a quiet environment with nobody there as it will pick up on any conversation in and out of the room. As for the camera its zoom and auto focus make it very easy to use however the zoom is manual and only has two settings either really close or really far away. (depending on room size and position) The camera is fully interactive with compatible playstion eye games...

Review of Sony PLAYSTATION Eye Camera

Play, play, play little station

Advantages: Easy to find, cheap, tons of games available
Disadvantages: none really

...I owned a Playstation when they were new, I didn't buy mine right away though. Instead I was sensible and waited for a 1st then 2nd price drop when I bought mine in 1996. New games were still being released pretty much every week so you had a huge choice. I've had my current Playstation for over 8 years now having bought it off Ebay with a few games, a memory card and an extra controller for under £30. It was slightly damaged (the aerial input wire is a bit loose) but it works fine with a bit of tape to keep it in place. Games are easy to come by and just keep getting cheaper & cheaper. Extras memory cards & controllers are also still cheap and will work if you ever decide to upgrade to a PS2. The Playstation is a work horse, it has good and bad games but the good ones really make the best of its onboard hardware. Its...

Playstation 2...Size isn't everything

Advantages: Plays DVD's, CD's and Games!! Ideal for everyone!
Disadvantages: Its Expensive but has loads of facilities!!

...I purchased this product in February and i chose the Playstation 2 as it is new, plays DVD's and CD's so i wont have to keep changing consoles everytime i want to do something different. I like this product as it enables me to get away from my parents when i want to watch DVD's as the only other player is downstairs :(. I would recommend this product to ANYONE and EVERYONE that likes DVD's, GAMES or CD's... this is ideal for families as the parents wouldn't have to put out so much money due to the facilities of the console!! This is a compact console, which means it will fit almost anywhere you want to put it, i would suggest you got a stand for it (which usually costs around £10 from the shop in which u purchased it) The stand makes it look "cool" and will appeal 2 almost everyone. ADVICE : Do not move the console while it has a CD...

Sony Playstation 2 - Slimline : 'Gaming Giant'

Advantages: Sleek design I no fan : much quieter I No power back switch I Affordable I Wide range of games I
Disadvantages: The lid where you put the games could be stronger

...to spend more time playing the games then waiting to play them. The games fit much better into the tray than the first model of the playstation 2. Also the game disks dont because as scratched as they used to. Finally the analog control ad feels much lighter than the original control pad. Also the console comes internet ready meaning that all you have to do is wire the console up to your internet connection and you can play online. With the original console you had to buy an Internet adaptor costing £20 to do so. Bad Features The tray, where you put the games in, is a flip lid. The lid is a little flimsy but should not break if your not too heavy handed with it. The tray on the original playstation 2 is much better because you press a button and the tray comes out. The new design of the console cannot stand up vertically...

Review of Sony PlayStation Portable (PSP)

Za Sony PSOne, she iz beautiful!

Advantages: Classic champion of consoles, has loads of great games, amazing value for money at the moment
Disadvantages: Dated graphics and audio by today's standards, loading times

...Cartridge Drive but that was a huge flop. Sony, now left with a console-less CD drive, decided to release it anyway with a few extra bits added and thus we have the Sony Playstation. Released a year after the Sega Saturn, it was one of the first 32bit consoles ever to be made available to the public, but it beat the Saturn (despite it having a head start) having more software support and being a better looking console. However as time goes on, it started to lose it's appeal with newer more powerful consoles being released so Sony introduced the PSOne. The PSOne is a smaller sexier version of the Playstation but has exactly the same hardware. This boosted sales just before the arrival of the Playstation 2, thus it kept Sony's name fresh in people's minds beckoning them to buy the Playstation 2 console. There hasn't been a more noble console...
